Install windows7 on Macbook Air - no sound

I installed Windows 7 on Mac book air, but now there is no sound. I googled similar issues- one of the finds came out that I have to install realtek drivers, which I did, but still the issue persists.

I downloaded the realtek driver from this post: (the solution section).

Here is screenshot from device manager - what is bugging me is you can see there are two entries in the Sound category, one showing a warning sign.

Can anyone help?

strangely if I use headphones there is sound.

Here is some info on MacBook:

MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2011)

You should never download drivers from anywhere but the manufacturer's website, it is not safe. You can download Windows "Bootcamp" drivers for a MacBook Air here on Apple's site:
